Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is Arabically for complete beginners?

Yes. Level 1 starts with the letters and the vowel marks. If you already know some Arabic, the placement test at the start puts you at the right level.

Which Arabic does the app teach?

Modern Standard and Classical Arabic (fuṣḥā): the Arabic of books, the news and the Qur’an. It does not teach a spoken dialect.

How much time do I need each day?

You choose. Ten minutes a day is enough to finish a lesson every few days. The app builds your plan around the time you have.

How does the free trial work?

When you start the trial you get full access straight away. The App Store shows the length of the trial and the price before you confirm. If you cancel before the trial ends, you are not charged.

How do I cancel my subscription?

On iPhone: Settings → your name → Subscriptions → Arabically. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for.

Do I need an account?

An account is optional. Your progress is always kept on your phone. With an account it is also saved online, so it comes with you to a new phone.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Lessons, the library and both dictionaries work without an internet connection. Your progress is saved to your account the next time you are online.
